 Hello Frank,

 FM> Good point!

 So be a good one, and stop posting your messages in totally 
 random areas.

 FM> On a totally different subject, how's your printer? 
 
 Fine, thanks.
 
 FM> Mine started
 FM> playing up a few weeks ago, would randomly go into a power-on sequence
 FM> and spit out the test page. Then it totally shat its memory and reset
 FM> the pages printed from ~2000 back to 1. Finally on Thursday (with
 FM> Caroline's school assignment due) it gave up entirely and won't print.
 FM> Anything. Except the test page with the // lines.

 Hmmm....

 FM> The power-on test sequence (flashing power light) is unusually short
 FM> and no sample page is produced. The last few randomly produced sample
 FM> pages before the final problem showed it communicating at 538,977,664
 FM> baud. Let's hope I can still get that speed when it's fixed!

 Yeah, you wish. :-)
 
 FM> Any clues? Presumably some NVRAM has lost its guts. Might try and find
 FM> a battery in the innards and remove it for a few hours. Who fixes them?
 
 I forget - AWA i think. In Talavera Rd, Nth Ryde.
 
 Any luck at getting it going ?  Any sense of the settings ? I 
 did have a problem with the very short active time, and nothing 
 would print, unless it was a very short text page. I obtained 
 the following from QMS:
 
 serverdict begin 0 exitserver
 statusdict begin
 25 9600 0 setsccbatch
 setdefaulttimeouts 0 60 30
 end
